I have a SwitchCompat:
<android.support.v7.widget.SwitchCompat
android:layout_width="match_parent"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="Some title"/>
and i want to prevent clicking on text title. As i click on text title, the switch is toggled. But i want to do switching only if i am clicking on toggle icon.
Is it possible? Or do i have to create two separate views for that: one TextView for title and one SwitchCompat without text?
I don't find an exact solution for this problem, but you can separate TextView and Swich like this:
<RelativeLayout
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="match_parent">
<TextView
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:text="YOUR SWITCH TEXT HERE"/>
<Switch
android:id="@+id/switch"
android:layout_width="wrap_content"
android:layout_height="wrap_content"
android:layout_alignParentRight="true" />
</RelativeLayout>
And use switch setOnCheckedChangeListener in your code.
I hope this is not too late..
I wasn't able to create a separated textview because we have some accessibility restrictions but I came up with this solution:
I just created a custom component and overridden onTouchEvent:
override fun onTouchEvent(ev: MotionEvent): Boolean {
if (ev.action == MotionEvent.ACTION_DOWN && thumbDrawable.bounds.contains(
ev.x.toInt(),
ev.y.toInt()
)
) {
toggle()
}
return true
}
Add this:
android:clickable="true"
android:focusable="true"
